#Repost @rasnabhasin with @use.repost ・・・ “Glamour has the potential to be very powerful in that way without saying anything,” @violetchachki once said. True to this sentiment, Violet has the unique ability to captivate and make a statement just by walking into a room. The first time I watched RuPaul’s Drag Race was the year Violet performed, and to say I was mesmerized would be an understatement. Over the years, I’ve been incredibly lucky not only to meet her but also to see her perform, transition in and out of drag, and celebrate this beautiful art form. So when the opportunity to shoot with her came, I seized it wholeheartedly. A little dream to shoot against the works of @anish.kapoor that @knmaindia made possible! I am immensely proud and grateful to the team that made this possible during one of the craziest times in my life @gopalikavirmani @tarun_kalyani @divjyot_singh_ @pranavgoswamy , Pooja, iris.filmss @tpangx @jishyouwish @___her.vision___ and the my family @thelalitgroup 🫶🏼💫 And @eleonoremmarchand , this one’s for you—thank you for believing in my vision and empowering me every step of the way.

Repost from @thezeenataman • I don’t take my glasses off for many people, but I did it for Dulari. When the director has a compelling vision I am less conscious of mine. This photo shoot insisted on vulnerability. They fastened my hair away from my face, packed away my glasses in a padded case, and walked me into a garden of abstracted, handcrafted floral dreams. I like my clothes to hold my story, and for my pictures to tell a story. These fabrics and cuts - so neat, comfortable, elegant. These images - so evocative. Of what? I suppose it will vary from viewer to viewer, each will interpret this project through the lens of their own experiences and memories. Truly, an enchanting photo shoot with ethereal results. Not to my credit, no. But to the credit of the team.

Repost from @shantibanaras • Mirgi Chingda in the Saraikela block of Saraikela-Kharsawan district is a place layered with history and belief. It is said that during their exile in the Mahabharata, the Pandavas passed through this route. Close by lies Bhimkanda in Rajnagar, where the footprints of Bhima and a hearth can still be seen. The rock formations of Mirgi Chingda stretch along the Kharkai River, carrying memories of kings, myths, and rituals. Every Makar Sankranti these rituals are observed, keeping the tradition alive through time. This performance takes inspiration from the Devadasi tradition in Saraikela Chhau, where dance was an offering to the deity of the ancient temple at Mirgi Chingda. Much like weaving in Jharkhand, where many threads come together to form cloth or baskets, Chhau binds devotion, memory, and community into a single form. The dancers are 𝐊𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐢 𝐊𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢 𝐌𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚 from Kharsawan, 𝐑𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐚 𝐌𝐮𝐫𝐦𝐮 from Rajnagar, and 𝐑𝐨𝐬𝐡𝐧𝐢 𝐁𝐨𝐛𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐚 from Sitaram Dera.

Repost from @shantibanaras • A popular saying about Purulia Chhau goes: “𝐔𝐝𝐚 𝐠𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐚 𝐝𝐢𝐠𝐛𝐚𝐳𝐢, 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐚 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐚 𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐛𝐚𝐳𝐢” Leaps, spins and vibrant movements define its character. To the beat of the madar drum, the dancer infuses movement and color into life itself. Each step adds rhythm to his existence, the echo of the drum and the firm press of his feet on the earth grounding his being. Against a mud-painted house backdrop, his hair rises like a crown, marking him as both performer and keeper of tradition. Portraying strength, grace and control, 𝐇𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐡 𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐫 of 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐦𝐝𝐢𝐡 performs this timeless tradition of Purulia Chhau.

Repost from @shantibanaras • This scene is inspired by the “Dheevar” of the 𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐚 Chhau style and the “Kewat-Kewatni” of the Kharsawan style, portraying fisherfolk at work. The women stand in quiet strength, collecting the catch brought in by the men, their presence a vital part of this shared labour. The red fabric flows between them like a living thread, moving with the ease of water and carrying the weight of the earth. At its centre rests a rock, binding the four women in a single circle. It feels as if the land itself holds them together, anchoring their steps while their bodies move in unison. In this, they mirror the life around them — where rivers and forests are lifelines, and where every action is rooted in the place they belong to. Their connection to the rock is a reminder that survival here is not solitary, but an unbroken bond between people, water, and soil. Performed by 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐧𝐢 𝐇𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐦, 𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐋𝐨𝐰𝐚𝐝𝐚, 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐚 𝐁𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐚 𝐌𝐮𝐫𝐦𝐮, the dance carries the truth of this life - that every breath belongs to the river, and every step to the land.
